I’m reading a book called The Divine Commodity and it’s really good so far.
I’m not very far into it yet, but it might be having the opposite effect of what it’s supposed to be having on me. It’s making me want stuff. Well…it’s probably not making me want stuff, I just always want stuff and I happen to be reading a book about consumerism.
My list has grown shorter though…and some of the items on it are less selfish than they once were.
Here’s some stuff I want:
* Nikon 70-200 f/2.8VR – This is the lens that helps you leap over to the pro side of photography. Yes, it costs more that almost every car I’ve ever owned. ($1,650)
* Nikon 60mm AF-S Micro – This lens will focus seriously close to…well…anything. And I want it!! ($550)
– Why must I have this filet mignon taste with a hamburger budget?
* Dreadlocks! I want them but I have no patience to grow out my hair. It gets crazy afro-style. Hmm.
* A commune! I want to have even more people live with us than just Ryan and Carrie. I would like to have maybe 2 or 3 more people here at our house…but that would mean some serious structure and renovations.
* A 6+ burner gas range! I want to cook more than our little glass top electric stove can handle. I feel like I’m stuck at a certain culinary level until I can move to gas. I want to feed more peeps!
What are you wanting these days?
